Which company is more aggressive toward pirates? Autodesk or Dassault? - eviltoast

Lets say you pirate CAD software like Autodesk Inventor or Dassault Solidworks.

Which company is more aggressive toward pirates? Which software is more dangerous to pirate?

For example I heard Adobe is pretty lax about piracy and it’s usually no big deal if you pirate Photoshop. So I wonder how it is with CAD companies.

I have seen a lot of posts about people receiving letter from Dassault about pirated Solidworks. But not so much about Autodesk. So I wonder if Autodesk software is safer to pirate than Dassault software.

Thanks for any advice or experience.

      Most of it is focused on corporate shit. Integration with ERP packages and full manufacturing data. They also host a lot of plugins that sometimes work out mostly okay lol. NX has python scripting which I’m a fan of at work, but I mostly use models at work so I’m just using it to get access to a python interpreter.

      If you look up the release group solidworks (if they’re still around, ru cad focused) they release a lot of random modules for the different CAD packages.
